plant’s name

Katya Heneghan asked 14 years ago

Could you please help me to identify this deciduous shrub. It’s hardy (survived last winter in small pot in a cold frame), tolerates strong winds and seems to be happy in a sunny position in alkaline soil. I planted out a 20cm rooted cutting this spring and it is about 50 cm now.

This is cotoneaster, probably Cotoneaster bullatus, that grew from bird-sown seed. It is quite vigorous, good for a boundary but a bit unruly in a border. Good for wildlife.
